Hello,

I have been running vzdumps of tow win 2k8 r2 kvm's for several day and now I am having an issue with one of the two completing. I use snapshot mode for both of them. The one continues to run fine nightly but the other does not. When I try to manually set a vzdump backup on the problem kvm this is the output that I get:

Code:
Jan 31 15:18:01 proxmox0 /USR/SBIN/CRON[92211]: (root) CMD (vzdump --quiet --node 1 --snapshot --storage freeNas0 --maxfiles 1 --mailto you@yourdomain.com 102)
Jan 31 15:18:01 proxmox0 vzdump[92211]: INFO: trying to get global lock - waiting...


and then nothing else happens. I am backing up to a NFS on FreeNas on a separate piece of hardware. I tried to disable and re-enable the nfs share via the web GUI and got an error. So I ran :

Code:
proxmox0:~# umount -l /mnt/pve/freeNas0/

Then remount it from the gui and try the backup again with the same results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Seems there is another vzdump process running? Search with:

# ps auxww|grep vzdump
